FC Schalke 04, according to media reports, gets defender Timo Becker from Bundesliga club Holstein Kiel back to Gelsenkirchen.

According to “Sport Bild”, an agreement with the 28-year-old has been made by a contract from the coming summer until June 30, 2029. Timo Becker is said to complete his medical check at FC Schalke 04 on Monday.

The “WAZ” also reports to consultant circles, which deals in dry cloths.

A transfer is not due for the 1.90 -meter professional. Becker’s contract in Kiel expires, and an extension has been off the table for a long time. Schalke is said to have tried an obligation for weeks and was ultimately apparently successful. His contract on Schalke is said to be well endowed for second division conditions.

The Becker deal is a real coup for the miners, not just from a sporting point of view. Born in Hertener, played in his own offspring, is a glowing S04 supporter.

At the beginning of 2022 he still turned his back on his heart’s club, first kicked for half a year on a loan at Hansa Rostock and switched to Holstein Kiel for 250,000 euros in the summer.

So now the role is likely to follow backwards. Schalke could now build a new team around Becker.

A double-digit number of professionals is likely to be the table 13. Leave the 2nd Bundesliga, in addition to Becker, numerous other new additions will (must) find their way to the S04.
